In our democracy, we elect representatives to discuss and decide on such matters as land use in our forests, and that includes the public being involved in planning. Those who abuse their power by creating policy based on their own internal interests need to be held accountable. If this man walks, he encourages such abuse by others. America is our home, we must hold this man accountable to the People! Print his name, his address, and his crime, so that his actions and their results may be seen by all, and justice be dealt!!! Hold him, his family, and all others who benefit from his actions, totally and equally accountable. To the extent that any wealth be gained by his action, it is theft and nothing less. We have the right to strip he, his family members, and all other accomplices of that wealth, that it be restored to the taxpayers from whom it was pirated. His estate should be held fully accountable for any and all resulting damages to the environment, due to his actions. We must all work to reclaim our country. This man should walk the rest of his days in fear of the hand of justice! Then, and only then, will such criminals think twice about their actions. Print this guy, Rey’s, address and contact info.
